In this study, we perform RNA-seq and identify 6,154 distinct circRNAs from human bladder cancer and normal bladder tissues. We find that hundreds of circRNAs are significantly dysregulated in human bladder cancer tissues. We further show that circHIPK3, also named bladder cancer-related circular RNA-2 (BCRC-2), is significantly down-regulated in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines, and negatively correlates with bladder cancer grade, invasion as well as lymph node metastasis, respectively. Over-expression of circHIPK3 effectively inhibits migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of bladder cancer cells in vitro and suppresses bladder cancer growth and metastasis in vivo Mechanistic studies reveal that circHIPK3 contains two critical binding sites for the microRNA miR-558 and can abundantly sponge miR-558 to suppress the expression of heparanase (HPSE). Taken together, our findings provide evidence that circRNAs act as "microRNA sponges", and suggest a new therapeutic target for the treatment of bladder cancer.1e:T4bb,Circular RNA (circRNA) is a key regulator in the development and progression of human cancers, however its role in breast cancer tumorigenesis is not well understood. The present study aims to investigate the expression profiles and potential modulation of circRNA on breast cancer carcinogenesis. Human circRNA microarray was performed to screen for abnormally expressed circRNA in breast cancer tissue. Results found circ-ABCB10, was significantly up-regulated in breast cancer tissue. And results were replicated in a larger sample size. In vitro, loss-of-function experiments showed circ-ABCB10 knockdown suppressed the proliferation and increased apoptosis of breast cancer cells. Bioinformatics prediction program predicted the complementary sequence within circ-ABCB10 and miR-1271, which was validated by luciferase reporter assay. Finally, miR-1271 rescued the function of circ-ABCB10 on breast cancer cells, confirming the sponge effect of circ-ABCB10 on miR-1271. Overall, results identified a new functional circ-ABCB10 in breast cancer tumorigenesis, and reveal the important regulatory role of circ-ABCB10 through sponging miR-1271, providing a novel insight for breast cancer pathogenesis.1f:T4f4,Somatic copy number variations (CNV) may drive cancer progression through both coding and noncoding transcripts. However, noncoding transcripts resulting from CNV are largely unknown, especially for circular RNAs. By integrating bioinformatics analyses of alerted circRNAs and focal CNV in lung adenocarcinoma, we identify a proto-oncogenic circular RNA (circPRKCI) from the 3q26.2 amplicon, one of the most frequent genomic aberrations in multiple cancers. circPRKCI was overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, in part due to amplification of the 3q26.2 locus, and promoted proliferation and tumorigenesis of lung adenocarcinoma. circPRKCI functioned as a sponge for both miR-545 and miR-589 and abrogated their suppression of the protumorigenic transcription factor E2F7 Intratumor injection of cholesterol-conjugated siRNA specifically targeting circPRKCI inhibited tumor growth in a patient-derived lung adenocarcinoma xenograft model. In summary, circPRKCI is crucial for tumorigenesis and may serve as a potential therapeutic target in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.Significance: These findings
